Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic work and care of others. This indicator is defined as the proportion of time spent in a day on unpaid domestic and care work by men and women. Unpaid domestic and care work refers to activities related to the provision of services for own final use by household members, or by family members living in other households.

These activities are listed in the Harmonised European Time Use Surveys — 2018 guidelines (HETUS2018 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/3859598/11597606/KS-GQ-20-011-EN-N.pdf/2567be02-f395-f1d0-d64d-d375192d6f10?t=1607360062000).

The purpose of the indicator is to measure the amount of time women and men spend doing unpaid work, to ensure that all work, whether paid or unpaid, is valued. In addition, it also provides an assessment of gender equality, by highlighting discrepancies between how much time women and men spend on unpaid work, like cooking, cleaning, or taking care of children.

Proportion of time spent on unpaid domestic and care work is calculated by dividing the daily average number of hours spent on unpaid domestic and care work by 24 hours.

The number of hours spent in unpaid housework and care is calculated as the sum of the number of hours spent in housework and the number of hours spent in jobs not performed divided by the total population whether or not they were engaged in the activity.
